Do you have any photos of the leaf or whole plant?

Unfortunately not, I don't recall seeing either a withered or whole leaf so it must've been chewed off. They were growing next to a stream but not where it was wet or boggy, rather on drier grassland habitat. Flowers were well-spaced and larger than P. tadgellianum I've seen in SW Namadgi NP.

I don't subscribe to the leaf thing but agree this looks like sphacelatum!
